little row boat in progress

Looks good, a fun project to make Im sure. Just as fun to use when your done.

Mike,

What construction method are you using? Looks great so far, I would love to see it when you are done.

it’s a stich and glue, 1/4”plywood over a mould. I use epoxy with some ingredients to glue it up. It is my first stich and glue and it works fine. I just thought I would be faster finishing it… ;)

i wish that we could see a step by step on this one. I am interested in the “how” on this one.

-- making sawdust....

Nice looking little rowboat. But, can you get it out of the basement? ;-)

reminds me of a Newfie Joke…......no offence to the Newfies

Michael and Jimmy had promised their uncle George, who had been a seafaring man all his life, to bury him at sea when he died. Of course, in due time, he did pass away and the boys kept their promise.

They set off with Uncle George all stitched up in a burial bag and loaded into their rowboat. After a while Micheal says, ‘Do yer tink dis is fer ‘nuff out, Jimmy?’ Without a word Jimmy slips over the side only to find himself standing in water up to his knees. ‘Dis’ll never do, Michael. Let’s row out some more.’

After a bit more rowing Jimmy slips over the side again but the water is only up to his belly, so they row on. Again Michael asks Jimmy, ‘Do yer tink dis is fer ‘nuff out Jimmy?’ Once again Jimmy slips over the side and almost immediately says, ‘No dis’ll never do.’ The water was only up to his chest.

So on they row and row and row and finally Jimmy slips over the side and disappears. Quite a bit of time goes by and poor Michael is really getting himself into a state when suddenly Jimmy breaks the surface gasping for breath.

‘Well is it deep ‘nuff yet, Jimmy?’

‘Aye it ‘tis bye, hand me da shovel.’

Looks great. Are those plans that you bought, or from a book?

This sure looks like a fun project – both to build and to use.

thanks for the comments!

I would like to do a step by step blog on this project, it is just a time issue, but I don’t mind to share. The drawings and calculations are all done by myself, so there is no copy right on that. I just have to figure out a way to post the drawings in a good way and the measure system will probably be metric.

thanks for the newfie-joke, I once met two guys from there and it could have been them! ;)

additional photos will follow…
